On Friday the Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) declared Swapo as victorious in the 2009 Elections. Eight political parties do not accept the results of the National Assembly and presidential elections and will take the ECN to court for allegedly contravening the election law. The results indicated that the ruling Swapo Party won the parliamentary election with 75,27 per cent or 602 580 votes. The opposition parties jointly collected 208 543 votes, with the RDP getting the highest number of votes, namely 90 556 votes or 11,31 per cent. RDP presidential candidate Hidipo Hamutenya won 88 640 votes or 11,08 per cent of the vote.
The photo above from The Namibian (http://www.namibian.com.na) shows President Hifikepunye Pohamba who said he was happy with the results. Pres. Pohamba will start his second term on 21 March 2010 when the government will be sworn in.
Let us daily intercede for our government:
- Pray that they would recognize their own inadequacy to fulfill their tasks and that they would depend upon God for knowledge, wisdom, and the courage to do what is right.
- Pray that they would reject all counsel that violates spiritual principles, trusting God to prove them right.
- Pray that they would resist those who would pressure them to violate their conscience.
- Pray that they would be ready to sacrifice their personal ambitions and political careers for the sake of this nation.
- Pray that they would rely upon prayer and the Word of God as the source of their daily strength, wisdom and courage.
- Pray that they would remember to be good examples in their conduct to the fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters of this nation.
- Pray that they would be reminded daily that they are accountable to Almighty God for the decisions they make.
